'Varsha' (2012) by Ranjani Shettar is an accordion-folding book, bound in hand-worked metal with Bidri work on the front and the back cover. Varsha evokes aspects of 16 phases of the monsoon & the classical Indian astronomy used to predict it. It brings to life tumultuous skies, verdant landscapes, and the other effects of the monsoon rains. Rendered in etching, silkscreen, hand-carved woodcut, pigment printing, and laser cut, the work exhibits a wide spectrum of shadow and light, color, and texture.
